Software at TU Berlin

TU Berlin has concluded several campus contracts and license contracts for research and teaching which enables departments and partly employees and students to purchase low-cost software licenses using tubIT-Softwareportal.

The acquisition of software licenses for departments, employees and students is conducted using tubIT software portal (quick access via servicebox on the right) which is maintained by the company asknet.to tubIT-Softwareportal

These products are usually software products which tubIT ordered in large numbers for TU Berlin distributing them to TU departments via tubIT softwareportal. This ensures discounts which could not be obtained as single purchaser.

For this product category research & education programs resp. outline agreements exist which have been concluded by TU Berlin, the city of Berlin or another R&E institution. These products can not be acquired at lower charges anywhere else.

Beside free software licenses members of TU Berlin (including students) have the option to purchase low-cost software licenses for some products via tubIT softwareportal due to correspondent agreements.

For some products employees and students can obtain software licenses free of charge via tubIT. This applies to campus licenses concluded by TUB where the software is provided free of charge (e.g. Sophos Anti Virus) to departments and members of TU. This also applies to license programs where manufacturers offer their software products (e.g. ATLAS.ti) free of charge for research and education.
